Never prone to bold statement with their style choices, Simon & Garfunkel outfit themselves with clean-cut, classic looks. So follow their lead by heading over to your father or grandfather's closet to pick out your new favorites: windbreaker, black turtleneck, wool trousers, short chinos, and worn-in boots.
On Art Garfunkel (left), a classic parka, like this one from Woolrich, is perfect to endure any cold weather you might face this winter. Penfield USA also has some great contenders.
On bottom, try a pair of gray wool trousers like these from Billy Reid.

If Paul Simon (right) is more your style, you can find a wool topcoat like his at Jos. A. Bank.
J.Crew makes a perfectly tailored, lightweight cotton pant, or for a little texture, try them in corduroy.
Top off the outfit with a pair of vintage-inspired, lace-up boots like these from Urban Outfitters.
